Clackamas Community College’s Transit Successes and ChallengesRay Atkinson
Ray's presentation for Clackamas Community College on the panel about Transit Connections in Suburban and Mixed Land Use Environments at the Oregon Active Transportation Summit in Portland, OR on April 25, 2019.
CCC needs the Clackamas Community College Shuttle Service and Access Plan (CCCSSAP), which identifies and prioritizes feasible projects and programs to improve student access to the Oregon City and Harmony campuses via the CCC Xpress Shuttle. Improving access to the college’s campuses by shuttle will expand the pool of potential students to include those who currently have difficulty reaching campus and may also reduce transportation-related tardiness.
Clackamas Community College Shuttle Service and Access Plan Work PlanRay Atkinson
Clackamas Community College (CCC) and other community colleges aim to make education more accessible, and one aspect of achieving that mission is addressing transportation barriers. Current and potential students at CCC experience barriers in access to education due to a lack of transit options in suburban and rural Clackamas County. Improving access to the college’s campuses via transit will expand the pool of potential students to include those who currently have difficulty reaching campus and may also reduce transportation-related tardiness. CCC needs a prioritized transit plan developed with the communities it serves.

The Challenges and Opportunities in School Transportation TodayJeremy Knight
Every day, America’s fleet of roughly 480,000 school buses transports more than a third of students to and from school. This fleet is more than twice the size of all other forms of mass transit combined, including bus, rail, and airline transportation.
A rail/bus transit plan to connect colleges and universities in Northwest Ohio. The plan increases educational and research opportunities, encourages resource sharing among campuses and provides the regions 65,000 college students increased, low cost access to the area's educational, recreational, entertainment and shopping venues.
L & T Metro Rail Impact Assessment Study - Stage 3Ramesh Satyam
Pragna Research Consultancy Services, Hyderabad did an Impact Assessment Study of Hyderabad Metro Rail Project for L&T Metro Rail. 4 Reports on the 4 different Stages with numerous errors and repetitions done using cut, copy and paste of content across reports were delivered to L & T Metro Rail. The junk contained in the Reports had to be processed to enable reuse and recycle of content for the Presentations.
A staffer in L&T Metro Rail was given my telephone number for contact by a lady from Pragna for assistance in converting the Reports into Presentations. The staffer said that she couldn’t do it herself as she was busy with personal matters and had to seek help on personal request and compensate for it out of her salary. The staffer grossly underestimated the costs, labor and time involved in the work, for reasons best known to her, which was far beyond her ability to pay for it. She and the lady from Pragna insist that L&T Metro Rail and Pragna have nothing to do with this work and this was expected to be done on a personal capacity for a payment that is less than 1/10th of the cost involved to do it.
The Report on Stage 3 was converted into a Presentation and sent to the staffer. Since either of the organizations involved in the creation of these Reports say they have nothing to do with it, the staffer has no ability to pay a realistic price for the conversion of Reports into Presentations and given the prevalent poverty (not necessarily in the material sense) of these organizations and staff working with them, I decide to leave this presentation with them as a donation.
To discourage full or partial use of the contents without acknowledgement of source by these organizations and their staff, as well as to get a bit of personal mileage as return for this unpaid free effort (can we call it voluntary?) and provide some insights on what is perceived to be happening by people of Hyderabad on the Metro Rail Project, the Presentation on Stage 3 (Begumpet to Shilparamam) is available online for those who may be interested in it.

South Patrick Street (Formerly Route 1 South) Housing Affordability Strategy ...Ray Atkinson
In May 2017, City Council adopted its FY2018 Interdepartmental Long-Range Planning Work Program, which included the Route 1 South Housing Affordability Strategy planning effort focused on a portion of the Southwest Quadrant Small Area around Route 1 south of Duke Street. The timing of this effort is closely tied to the expiration of affordability contracts on two large rental communities in the corridor – The Heritage at Old Town and Olde Towne West III.
The Value of Place: Planning for Walkability in the Tigard TriangleRay Atkinson
The purpose of the Value of Place Project is to produce urban design recommendations that will improve the walkability, safety, comfort, and aesthetics of the built environment for those who live, work and do business in the Tigard Triangle.
Metro’s portfolio of outdoor destinations and nature programs has grown dramatically during the past two decades, laying the groundwork for a world-class regional park system.
To realize that opportunity, Metro has developed a system plan that will guide future decision-making and investments for regional parks, trails, natural areas and nature programs. Community members and partners helped shape a plan that lays out Metro's mission, role and priorities going forward – and introduces the 17,000 acres of parks, trails and natural areas that Metro manages on behalf of the public.
Health Impact Assessment: Broadway Improvement Project in Tucson, AZRay Atkinson
Tucson is the second‐largest populated city in Arizona. The city is located 108 miles southeast of Phoenix and 60 miles north of the U.S.‐Mexico border. In 2010, the U.S. Census reported the city's population at 520,116, with a metropolitan area population of 980,263.
Broadway Boulevard is a major east/west arterial in Tucson that spans 16.2 miles connecting downtown to Saguaro National Park East. The Broadway Improvement Project will be constructed in phases, with the first phase spanning two miles from Euclid Avenue to Country Club Drive. This section is primarily composed of commercial zoning with minimal residential zoning. The project is located in an area that is
diverse in its racial and ethnic makeup, as well as its socioeconomic composition.
Based on the anticipated outcomes of the roadway expansion, this health impact assessment (HIA) focuses on assessing the potential impacts of three health determinants and presents recommendations to enhance health-promoting elements and mitigate negative health elements (summarized in Table 1).
Decision‐making on the exact alignment of the expansion project is currently in progress, however this HIA is timely for informing an alignment decision to better serve the broader goals of the City in promoting health, protecting the environment, and supporting local businesses.
Evaluating the Safe Routes to School Program in NE & Outer East PortlandRay Atkinson
An issue that has impacted the constituency of the Portland African American Leadership Forum (PAALF) is gentrification of Northeast Portland neighborhoods and displacement of the African American communities residing in those neighborhoods. Many of the displaced are finding themselves in Outer East Portland, an area that has seen much less infrastructure investment in comparison to inner Portland neighborhoods. Sensing this was an important concern, our team chose to examine the extent of the disparity in investment by measuring the quality of the Safe Routes to School program in the two areas.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
